Would you still stand by my side?
And would our flame still burn so bright?
Sometimes I wonder why,
IÂ’m so full of these endless rhymes
About the way I feel inside
I wish I could just get it right
If I was a simple man
And I could make you understand
ThereÂ’d be no reason to think twice
YouÂ’d be my sun; youÂ’d be my light
